I was thinking the other day how much it would confuse 'progressives' if muslim women started declaring themselves male, wearing trousers and t-shirts, refusing to wear the hijab and doing pretty much what they like. The muslim reaction to such behaviours would certainly give the Labour Party something to consider

Yeah, right. See also: hell freezing over. Though the other day I saw a woman in a hijab clutching a wad of Socialist Worker papers. At first I thought it was odd because it is absolutely not possible to be a communist and a devout muslim, but then I thought that this is the SWP so anything is possible. Even in my days, long ago, of being curious about radical socialism I thought the SWP were full of shít.

Get a bloke to do it. Essentially it is still a chick for the same reasons as the previous scantily clad chick.

The sort of fúcking pervert that would attend a motor show in the first place probably gets more hot under the collar about the bint dressed up as Stig from Top Gear as he does a bint with her bits on show.

It's all allies of convenience, I'm afraid. Islamists know very well that the left will bend over backwards to accommodate them as long as they deliver votes in heavily muslim communities. The left are their useful idiots.

They are certainly politically loaded words but that doesn't mean they can't ever be used without a political agenda.

And what you call irony, others may call whataboutery.

First, you responded to the wrong post.

Second, I have long opposed the use of the word 'whataboutery', by any side, as a way to shut down arguments that take an opposing view. It's just another magic word, like 'objectification' that is intended to shut people up.

Third, despite previous indocrination by puritanical feminism, I now simply reject its prudish hatred of sex, together with all of the bull**** vocabulary which is used to bolster that position. You should too, my friend.
